- You have a room in your house devoted mainly to a certain "special interest." (yes, i have a snake room)
- You don't dance to music, you stim to it.
- You've ever considered someone a "good friend" after having one conversation with them.
- You hear a fire alarm going off... and, while everyone else is in a panic about the possibility of fire, you're in a panic about the alarm itself.
- Goth kids tell you to smile more.
- You've ever been at a store/museum/whatever that in some way involves a special interest of yours, and other the other people visiting think that you work there and come to you with questions.
- You have your video games in alphabetical order, but can't seem to get your school work organized.
- You know all about electronic gadgets... EXCEPT FOR cell phones, because you never have anyone to call.

Ditto for most of the above...
Exceptions: cell phone...I have an iPhone 3G and it is more than just a phone...
"You don't dance to music, you stim to it." I sometimes stim in sync with washing machines and any other source of rhythmic sound.....
"You have your video games in alphabetical order, but can't seem to get your school work organized."
I have no video games and I finished school more than 30 years ago...

Goth kids are freaked out by your presence.
Your only friends are grown up goth kids, and you're still weirder than they are.
You can listen to classical jazz and death metal on the same CD and not see a problem with it.
You talk to your pet like it's a therapist... and it works better than a real therapist.
YMBAAI You think it is asinine that the word 'asinine' is spelled with only one 's' in it when its root word is spelled with two...Really I do ponder such stuff while in the shower scrubbing my a**...
